Noa is still Supertalented and she says: “Some of the songs on the album were made for people I know, but if you feel like any of the songs are about you, then don't let me tell you otherwise.she also said other things which we had to censor due to inappropriate language use. Plus Size is Supertalented’s second release on Birdsong. This time shorter, stronger and more suitable for Hell’s Angels. more songs about cheesecakes and less about potatoes.

Noa is supertalented , but she's not alone in that. She says "All the amazing guitar solos are played by johannes . He also bought me my guitar and was the inspiration to most of the songs" and " kristoffer plays on ' Brazil ', ' Atomer ' and ' You're wrong '. He is also supertalented and lives in Oslo. we live in london." It seems the world is packed with supertalented people, but only a few of them teamed up to be Supertalented - the band.

Automassage (Graz/Murska Sobota) are Samo Ismajlovič (bass), Slobodan Kajkut (drums), Gottfried Krienzer (bass), Christoph Uhlmann (synth) and Rok Vrbančič (synth) who fry the rancid leftovers of parallel and previous projects such as Code Inconnu, Neuf Meuf and The Striggles.

The Homunculus, Latin for "little man", is a truly tiny creature that lives in the brain and controls it from the inside. Some claim he is responsible for all non-basic functions of man; perhaps the enjoyment of music, or perhaps its creation. "Tiny Creatures" return less tiny this time around. They've beefed up their sound and lost the tendency to scatter. Still, they won't have a moment's rest. From beatbox layers recorded live into a delay pedal to stinging guitars to a...

Our first hi-fi release contains six remixes of tracks by three different birdsong artists (her highness, tiny creatures and the lonesome executive). Beatmapper, a well known HI-FI fascist,remolded these songs into clean Hi-Fi dancefloor hits. these 6 sterilized decendants often leave little resemblance of their slacker parents.

Misadventure of a Meaty Machine is Cherly Kacherlyâs third release following âdropâ and the self titled debut EP. like its predecessors it was also recorded at home, using a reluctant microphone and a text to speech software that was put in charge of the vocal parts. Surprisingly, the album is also available in a silkscreen printed board game deluxe edition, immune to future Internet catastrophes and could technically survive a nuclear holocaust if kept in the right conditions.

Uncle Owen Aunt Beru are actually one person named Jessica. She makes music like journal entries, capturing her ideas and impressions of earth and other planets onto her multi-track recorder. In her spaceship's luggage compartment one can find different specimens of an earthly nature and frozen experiences collected in her travels. Uncle owen Aunt Beru's album is a careless experiment with simple melodies, crude sounds, Jessica's voice and the captain's log.

Neokoln was released in 1999 by the Jerusalem based label "Fact Records". all the music on the album was written and performed by Ariel Caine and featured Hovav Oppenheim's (Fun) guitar skills on some of the tracks as well as production assistance. The music itself was either late for its own time or preceded the dark eighties revival. The use of minimal synths, alienated vocals and hazy use of Hebrew balance themselves with the almost pop like concrete tunes to create some sort of...

"Senza Valore" is a project by multi-instrumentalist Joseph Campbell, or, as he defines it, "man who can play many instruments poorly". "Attack/Decay E.P.", we assume, refers to the starting point, where the sound is at its peak and the part where the sound dies out until it becomes a recurring echo of itself. This leaves the meaty middle without any attention. This is partly true of the "Attack/Decay E.P.", which opens with the sounds of children playing...

Fun was formed in 2002 by Shay Yehezkelli (coma) and Hovav Oppenheim as a free spirited side project that got out of control with the independent release of their E.P Measured By The Inch. The E.P was quickly reissued by Fact Records and made it into a bullet-proof radio playlist. Soon the duo became a band with the help of Ariel Caine (Neokoln), Ariel Kleiner (The Rubberband Project), Yonatan Naim and Avishay Londner (Lebanon). At the same year they released the "Thurston Moore"...

He recorded the music onto his old PC using his walkman headphones as a microphone, his grandmother's mini classic guitar, a Yamaha PSR-100 electronic keyboard, a now untraceable drum machine software, a children's recorder and a traditional Chilean instrument that resembles a jaw harp called torompe.

Assuann, ComaÂs (Shai Yechezkely) third album, marks a turning point in the artistÂs development as a musician. The minimal sound, that has characterized ComaÂs work so far, is replaced here by dozens of channels, numerous samples and instruments. The raw, somewhat dissonant sound that marked the last two albums has made way for orchestrations and a tight production. Assuann moves between punk and ambient, between metal and Middle-Eastern elements, acoustic and electronic  fluctuations...

Ariel Caine's (a.k.a. Neokoln) eponymous EP is his second release. The album shifts from the dense, heavy, 80's oriented sound that featured heavily on the Neokoln album towards more minimal, but still electronic, instrumentations. This lends the songs a slightly more analog sound and gives the album an overall different feel.
